That’s some great stuff you got there, Jeremy. The Spring catalogue is quite nice. I had sent them a message asking after it a month or so back, but was directed to the Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth book. Oh well!

Oh yes, I knew they were original art, but I know them as posters since they were produced for sale that way. In my head I always imagined some cleanup happened between the original painting and produced poster. Perhaps too much digital world immersion for me. But no, these were beautiful in execution.

I did get the lithos; I can't choose between The Hobbit & LR or The Silmarillion or...My standard hardback, preordered last Nov. showed up to ease my Oxford withdrawal. Anyway, also got the Deluxe edition with P. Tolkien's signature and like the ephemera, especially the annotated map. I came home with one larger poster (A2 size) of the H dust jacket. But decided to order more posters & stuff online. The jigsaw puzzles will make great gifts for Yule. I did bring home both pillows but only one with stuffing. Of course no one will be allowed to use them, ever. There for the Shrine.Bruce

Almost any Tolkien related item is of interest, lithos to pillows, books to newspaper clippings. I have a hard time prioritizing between Tolkien topic. It mostly comes down to cash flow at the moment. If they had had a Silmarillion set I probably would have got that.
